Summary of the Course
This workshop-based course gives you the opportunity to develop a major creative work in fiction,
poetry, memoir, play or screenwriting. Classes are structured to ensure a supportive workshop
environment for you to develop a major work to final draft stage. The course will help you hone your
skills in the areas of editing, copy editing, reading critically, giving peer feedback and in navigating
industry opportunities.
You will be required to submit a project proposal near the start of the course.
Course Learning Outcomes
1. Plan, draft and edit a major piece of creative writing.
2. Critically appraise their own and others' creative writing.
3. Develop and refine an industry-specific statement about the work.
Teaching Strategies
This course will be delivered wholly online as a blended-learning 4-hour workshop with online
real-time and asynchronous components. Please check Moodle for further details.
The workshop format provides a key opportunity for students to develop the kind of intensive and
practical editing and peer feedback needed to help build projects through to completion. It also
contributes to the course's practical industry focus.

7Academic Honesty and Plagiarism
Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own. It can take many
forms, from deliberate cheating to accidentally copying from a source without acknowledgement.
UNSW groups plagiarism into the following categories:
Copying: using the same or very similar words to the original text or idea without acknowledging the
source or using quotation marks. This also applies to images, art and design projects, as well as
presentations where someone presents another’s ideas or words without credit.
Inappropriate paraphrasing: Changing a few words and phrases while mostly retaining the original
structure and/or progression of ideas of the original, and information without acknowledgement. This also
applies in presentations where someone paraphrases another’s ideas or words without credit and to
piecing together quotes and paraphrases into a new whole, without appropriate referencing.
Collusion: working with others but passing off the work as a person’s individual work. Collusion also
includes providing your work to another student before the due date, or for the purpose of them
plagiarising at any time, paying another person to perform an academic task, stealing or acquiring
another person’s academic work and copying it, offering to complete another person’s work or seeking
payment for completing academic work.
Inappropriate citation: Citing sources which have not been read, without acknowledging the "secondary"
source from which knowledge of them has been obtained.
Duplication ("self-plagiarism"): submitting your own work, in whole or in part, where it has previously
been prepared or submitted for another assessment or course at UNSW or another university.
Correct referencing practices:
Paraphrasing, summarising, essay writing and time management
Appropriate use of and attribution for a range of materials including text, images, formulae and
concepts.
Individual assistance is available on request from The Learning Centre (http://www.lc.unsw.edu.au/).
Students are also reminded that careful time management is an important part of study and one of the
identified causes of plagiarism is poor time management. Students should allow sufficient time for
research, drafting and proper referencing of sources in preparing all assessment items.
UNSW Library also has the ELISE tool available to assist you with your study at UNSW. ELISE is
designed to introduce new students to studying at UNSW but it can also be a great refresher during your
study.
Completing the ELISE tutorial and quiz will enable you to:
analyse topics, plan responses and organise research for academic writing and other
assessment tasks
effectively and efficiently find appropriate information sources and evaluate relevance to your
needs
use and manage information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose
better manage your time
